Growth in spite of the job crisis Argentina: When growth does not create jobs

Argentina's economy is growing again, but new jobs are not being created, leading many people to turn to platform-based work. Claudio Nunez lost his restaurant job and now works as an Uber driver, struggling to make ends meet after covering vehicle rental and fuel costs. While sectors like agriculture, mining, and finance are driving economic growth, they require little labor, leaving the broader workforce behind. The private sector has seen over 200,000 registered positions disappear since late 2023, and even in expanding industries, employment numbers have declined. Platform economy services such as Cabify and Rappi have seen significant increases in drivers, though this does not necessarily translate into more customers or stable income.
